You seldom do.

That workplace stuff that I mentioned in January is officially kicking off within the next few weeks. There's a trial run starting on Friday (why start on the final day of the week ?), I'm hearing info third hand. But I have not been told how I'm changing as yet, others are apparently losing X hours a day. Some having their hours slashed by 50%

I'm well aware that no job lasts forever, I'm disappointed that things are heading downward. Even after cutting out unnecessary spending... there's little wiggle room. Back in the day I had 2 jobs and a side hustle (nothing illegal, just supplementing income by helping fix computers and such in my off time). As my hours and responsibilities with my main job increased, I gradually slowed the second job down. I'm thinking worse case scenario I return to that setup.... or find a replacement job with enough hours to get by.

Meanwhile I'm overthinking things at 2-3am - if/when I get pulled aside and told xyz is happening and this is how it impacts you. My current workload is behind (traditionally this time of year there's a 3-4 week gap between where we are vs where we should be), things that are happening now won't be fully dealt with until the end of the month or even the start of March. I'll get the blame for it as its my area, yet it's not something I can help.





Lol
I waste 30 seconds or less, food arrives ,photo taken, commence eating.

It's out of your control. You'll be fine regardless. There's work out there and you have credentials. And as for taking photos of your food I'd fine you 5k for that.

The word Influencers. I can't ****ing stand it and them. What exactly do they influence anyway? Did they invent food, healthy eating and exercise?

Go and get ****ed. Floyd Mayweather owns them all. He was on YouTube owning everyone two decades ago.

If theres a market Or gap in the market people will take it for all its worth.

The kardashians prob wouldn't of being a thing.
If their daddy wasn't in the OJ trail.

Some travel Influencers want free accommodation for good reviews.

Mr Beast in beast games got the biggest YT channel.

Influencers kinda made sense maybe 10 years go when social media was in relative infancy. People flock to follow famous person X. You pay person X to spruik your product. People buy your product. Just a different slant on traditional advertising but fundamentally you were still using the profile of a public figure to sell something rather than just putting your product out there.

Now the whole thing has become a self serving industry and revenue is generated by clicks. Once you have a big enough following you can still do sponsored posts and flog products etc. but it's just a race between talentless hacks to get the most engagement because that alone is your meal ticket. But people watch MAFS so it's not hard to see why "content" is lapped up.

There is prob good and bad AI.

A mate made me a cartoon pic of my dogs and myself.

Ai used alot more in movies and shows.

ive never really used AI so I don't know the full effect of it.

Buying a protein bar without checking ingredients, yep it has peanuts and I’m allergic. Didn’t eat it just opened it and could smell them, doh.

I take pictures of food more than I take selfies of myself (in fact its been YEARS since I've done such a thing)

As for the job thing its funny as some days I'll freak out.... other days I'm as cool as a cucumber. I haven't tested myself in the job market for 14 years - funny thing is my current main job was my original second job. They offered me "more" as others left... at the time I was all hell yeah as despite how toxic the place gets the money was great for the workload.

Over the years I've had others try to recruit me (more pre covid era, have had a few offers in recent years but not as many as before then) but I'd chicken out thinking better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

They're supposed to replace your role in a like for like (hours wise) situation. I'd be tempted to try my luck and call them out on stuffing me around.

They should use other ingredients other than peanuts. Like almonds, walnuts, macadamia, pistaschios ect..

The whole protein bar thing can be misleading, other than nut allergies always worth checking the amount of protein in the bars, can vary from 10g to 45g. Same with the powders, sometimes they'll claim 30g a serve but there's only 15 serves in the thing and has a huge scoop.

Who going to eat it .?



Weird AL had a song eat it ?

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Atkins Caramel Fudge awesome.

If other peanut allergies are like mine then all these things still taste and smell nutty, which is what I assume poison tastes and smells like.

Even sesame can sometimes trigger that feel.

If my parents have an open packet of cashews in the pantry, I can sense it when I walk through their front door.

It’s amazing when you have an allergy to something like peanuts you almost get a heightened sense for it.

 

[rocker_oz33]

No allergy

I dont like peas.

They don't peas me.

I used to say I had allergy.

But i can eat nuts .

IIRC cyanide is supposed to smell like almonds.
